Title Draft Order supplementing the Order of 23 March 2020 prescribing the organisational and operational health system measures necessary to deal with the COVID-19 epidemic in the context of the state of health emergency 6. Products Concerned proprietary products containing nicotine 7. Notification Under Another Act - 8. Main Content In view of the health situation and until 31 May 2020, the draft text provides that: - pharmacy dispensing of proprietary products containing nicotine that are used in the treatment of tobacco dependence shall be limited to the number of boxes required for a treatment lasting one month. - the number of boxes dispensed shall be entered in the pharmaceutical file, whether or not the patient has presented a medical prescription. - all Internet sales of these proprietary products are hereby suspended. 9. Brief Statement of Grounds The World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the emergence of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) constitutes a public health emergency of international concern on 30 January 2020. Because of media coverage of the potentially protective effect of nicotine against COVID-19, there is a high risk of a significant rise in the pharmacy dispensing and Internet sale of nicotine replacement treatments over the coming days. It is thus necessary to regulate the pharmacy dispensing and Internet sale of nicotine substitutes, firstly to prevent the health risks associated with excessive consumption or misuse in the wake of media coverage of the potentially protective effect of nicotine against COVID-19 and, on the other hand, to guarantee a continuous and appropriate supply for people requiring medicinal support in the context of quitting smoking. The draft text complies with Directive 2000/31, known as the Directive on electronic commerce, and in particular Article 3(5) thereof. 10. Reference Documents - Basic Texts Reference(s) to basic text(s): Article L3131-16 of the Public Health Code 11. Invocation of the Emergency Procedure Yes 12. Grounds for the Emergency Emergency measure to protect the population against the serious health threat posed by the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. 13. Confidentiality No 14. Fiscal measures No 15. Impact assessment - 16. TBT and SPS aspects TBT aspect No - the draft has no significant impact on international trade. SPS aspect No - the draft is neither a sanitary nor phytosanitary measure. ********** European Commission Contact point Directive (EU) 2015/1535 Fax: +32 229 98043 email: grow-dir2015-1535-central@ec.europa.eu |
